Have advancements in car safety led to a reduction in the competence of drivers as time goes on? Hello people, it would appear some forum members feel that this is the case and I would like to gauge the public opinion on this matter.
New cars today, through improved handling, braking, air bags, abs, dsc, etc. create a much larger margin for driver error than the first car I started driving 25 years ago. Have our driving standards diminished, are we lulled into a false sense of security as a result of the belief that we're "safe" when we get behind the wheel? Should people be taught to drive in an "older" car to gain perspective? |
